I had bought one of the foam sleds at local big box store before a recent snowstorm, and the kids fought over it. So I snagged one recently on Woot for MUCH less than big box, and it arrived during the next snowstorm (thanks UPS guy for delivering during our paralyzing snow!).
Kids love it more than the plastic saucer style, and it's more durable than I expected for being so light. Works well in shallow snow like we get here in the southeast. Definitely a worthwhile buy even if you don't have tons of snow!

There's snow time like the present to buy a new sled!

Is it weird that I am 35 and have never been on a sled? These look fun, I wish I was near some snow so I can buy one.

Are the foam sleds styrofoam or squishy foam (she asked not believing how silly it sounds--but sincerely meaning it)?

They are rigid foam.

The foam is the same as what is used in body "boogie" boards like you would see during the summer.

Thank You!

I just wanted to throw it out there that my local Targets have sleds 50% off right now. I got a toboggan for $5 and a saucer for $3! They had some of these foam ones too, I believe they were around $7.

Arrived today, 2 separate big boxes via UPS.
